They're All Minor Issues / "I Won't!"

This time, Vil-V pounced on Liu Bai, ready to punch and kick him... well, to punch and kick the ghost.

Liu Bai floated up a little and picked up the microphone again.

"Oh, and one more, save one for Vil-V. Her symptoms are getting worse... she's even planning to be violent towards me, a ghost, she's probably become aggressive..."

"I'm really not sick!"

Furious and trembling, Vil-V jumped up and snatched the microphone from Liu Bai's hand.

"Mobius! Listen up, you old woman! I'm not sick! Get out, get out!"

After saying that, Vil-V slammed the receiver back onto the landline, then glared angrily at Liu Bai: "What do you mean I'm sick? What do you mean I'm sick?!"

"You're saying you want to surpass Eden in terms of femininity, and you still say you're not sick?"

Liu Bai also looked completely matter-of-fact, "Besides, you're clearly more irritable than usual right now!"

Vil-V sighed and rubbed her forehead.

It wasn't that she found Liu Bai's Liu Bai offensive, but rather that she suddenly realized they made a lot of sense...

Comparing femininity to Eden's is a recipe for disaster, isn't it? Even Mobius wouldn't dare to directly challenge Eden in this regard. If anyone wanted to, it might be the new pink-haired girl named Elysia.

Saying something like that really seems a bit irrational...

Looking at herself from a minute ago, Vil-V felt like she had just looked at her lover.

Damn it, it seems my reputation is going to be ruined even without my lover coming out.

It would have been better if the lover hadn't appeared. After he did, the event lock was gone, and his 90+ favorability rating instantly matched his level. Now, no matter how Vil-V looks at Liu Bai, she feels a faint flutter in her heart.

It's all my fault!

If she hadn't become love-struck, things wouldn't have turned out this way!

To think that a genius like myself would stoop so low as to become a hopeless romantic...

The conductor forcibly regulated his emotions.

"Ahem, just consider my question a momentary outburst of madness."

"Your madness is one of the most severe madnesses in history..." Liu Bai stroked his chin.

Normally, when Vil-V goes crazy, he might just add useless components to his inventions or create inventions that have no meaning at all. But today...

"I had a personality severed, so my mind isn't quite clear." Vil-V said with a straight face, trying her best not to let Liu Bai see her thoughts.

Liu Bai definitely hadn't gone through the transition from "friends" to "romantic feelings"! Otherwise, he would have been completely seen through!

She's a genius in scientific research, but in social situations, she's at best a split personality who's unpredictable and prone to erratic behavior to strangers—but Liu Bai isn't a stranger!

She just realized that after three years, the social barrier between Liu Bai and her seemed to have disappeared... Without the barrier of social barriers, even if she is a conductor, she is just an ordinary person in the social field!

Of course, Vil-V's feelings were also quite complicated. On the one hand, she hoped that Liu Bai would turn around, but on the other hand, she was afraid of change and hoped that Liu Bai would not turn around.

"You cut another one?"

"Well, Xinqie's personality code name is idiot... cough, moron—to ensure efficient work in the future."

"I see."

Liu Bai nodded. "But you don't need to think about your future job for now."

"...?"

That sounds a little scary.

"You just called Mobius an 'old woman'," Liu Bai looked at Vil-V with pity. "Just now."

"...grass!"

Chapter 354: All Minor Issues

"Mobius ..." Vil-V's lips twitched.

She realized this matter seemed to be getting a bit serious.

Although she has multiple personalities, that doesn't mean she's actually mentally ill! There's a fundamental difference between self-deprecation and objective facts!

Mobius is 29 this year, and from every angle, she's considered a "leftover woman," but in terms of age, she's become a crazy old lady—although objectively speaking, 29 isn't that old.

But everyone around her was significantly younger than her. Eden, the only one close to her age, could easily pass for a female college student by changing her clothes, and if she were willing to act a little younger, she could even pass for a female high school student...

On the other hand, Blanca, Mobius's former assistant, got married a few months ago, and Eden even brought Liu Bai to congratulate her.

Given this environment, coupled with the unexpected event of her assistant's wedding that made everyone envious, Vil-V really felt that Mobius was already a powder keg... well, and she just seemed to have lit the fuse of that powder keg.

Is this situation already on the verge of death?

"Can I pack my valuables and run away?"

"You can give it a try."

"..."

Vil-V remained silent.

This matter... seems like it can't be hidden forever, even if the monk can run away?

Although Mobius is the kind of person who seems scary but is actually very kind when it comes to important matters, and even has a magnanimous heart when it comes to selecting talents and taking care of younger generations, she does have a vengeful streak that is unique to women when it comes to age issues, especially those related to Liu Bai.

Running away on her own would probably only make that crazy old woman Mobius go from remembering it to writing it down in her little notebook, right?

Try it?! You'll just die if you try!

Upon realizing this, Vil-V immediately abandoned her desire to escape and adopted a defiant expression.

"Cricket Mobius? I'm not afraid of her! What makes you think she, a scalpel-wielder, can beat me, a wrench-wielder?"

Vil-V pulled two wrenches from her waist and swung them around twice as if to encourage herself.

"Then good luck—I'm going to spend my days with Pardo."

Liu Bai had no interest in the bloody events that were about to happen. After thinking about it, he realized that Pardo's side was the most suitable place for him to live a carefree life—after all, Pardo herself was a carefree person.

"You're not allowed to run away!" Vil-V shouted as soon as she saw Liu Bai looking like he was about to flee. "You and I are accomplices!"

"I wasn't the one who called Mobius an 'old woman'," Liu Bai said, shrugging.

"If you... if you run away, I'll go and drag Elysia and Mobius to their deaths! We'll all be covered in blood!"

Vil-V was getting anxious. After all, if Liu Bai were around, Mobius would be mindful of his public image, and even if he were in a red-hot state, he would never go berserk. But if Liu Bai wasn't there...

To prevent Liu Bai from running away, Vil-V was going all out, even saying things like "explode" – after all, if she really chose to explode with Elysia and Mobius, she would offend not only Mobius, but also at least Eden.

After all, Eden didn't want Elysia to know that Liu Bai was here.

Upon hearing this threat, Liu Bai remained silent for a moment before revealing a subtle expression. "That might be a solution."

"...ha?"

"To put it simply, Elysia is one of the few women who can cause Mobius trouble. If you bring Elysia out, she might actually be able to stop Mobius."

"Pull her out..."

After muttering something, Vil-V fell silent.

Why is this a threat? Because Vil-V herself doesn't want Elysia to join the battle! One big boss, Eden, and the hidden boss Mobius, are already troublesome enough. If Elysia joins in, how can they possibly live like this?

"Fine, I'll figure it out myself..."

Night.

"Knock knock"

"... Please come in."

"Good evening, Dr. Vil-V. I hope I haven't disturbed you?"

Wearing a white lab coat Mobius pushed open the door and walked into the laboratory with a smile on his face.

"No..." Vil-V tried to remain calm, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Mobius's smile always gave her a bit of a creeps—but on the other hand, it seemed much better than she had imagined.

"Oh, that's good." Mobius nodded. "Is Liu Bai here?"

"Him? He's not here. He's probably busy with Eden right now."

"Vil-V said, feigning composure, and upon hearing this, Mobius's expression immediately froze."

"You have to provoke me, don't you?" Mobius said quietly. "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"I would like to lie to you, but Liu Bai won't help me lie to you." Vil-V shrugged. "So, what do you want to do here this time? Are you holding a grudge against me for calling you an old woman this afternoon?"

"You insist on saying it again, don't you...?"

Mobius's brow began to twitch.

Although she knew beforehand that Vil-V could be a bit stubborn at times, why did she feel like she was even more stubborn than usual today?

—Actually, it was because Vil-V wanted to set a trap for Mobius with Liu Bai, but Liu Bai refused. This made Vil-V feel like a "loser" for the first time in her life, so she especially wanted to disgust Mobius.

"... Fine, you're a lunatic, I'm not going to argue with you."

After a moment of silence, Mobius decided to console herself. "Why should I, a perfectly normal person, argue with someone with a split personality?"

"As for what you said this afternoon, I was indeed quite annoyed at first, but I calmed down halfway through the flight—I'll say it again, why would I argue with a lunatic like you? I'm not a lunatic."

"..."

This guy seems a bit aggressive today... Vil-V's eyelids twitched a couple of times, but she didn't say anything. After all, Vil-V didn't think she could out-argue a middle-aged woman who was already going through an anxiety phase.

Meanwhile, Mobius on the other side clearly wasn't going to waste time on pointless banter and immediately got to the point. "What happened between Liu Bai and Elysia?"

"Occurred? What do you mean by 'occurred'?" Vil-V's eyes narrowed.

It's both unexpected and reasonable that Mobius would ask this.

"Oh, so nothing happened, right?"

Realizing that Vil-V's attitude was not one of gloating but rather one of probing, Mobius breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was just an absurd dream at the time, the fact that Elysia, the protagonist of the nightmare, appeared before him after he woke up made Mobius feel like he was being cuckolded whenever he saw Elysia for a while...

Although they eventually became friends, and could even be considered best friends.

The reason is...

Thinking about Eden, the real big boss, Mobius felt that Elysia's absurd nightmare didn't seem so bad after all—after all, he'd been cuckolded for a long time, so Elysia and nightmares seemed like minor issues.

Chapter 355 "No!"

Mobius was a reasonable person. Although he disliked Elysia's pink hair, Mobius believed in the principle of innocence and thought there was no need for him to fabricate charges.

In addition, Elysia's personality is indeed quite likable, and her abilities are reliable. Although she is a bit impulsive, to be honest, which of these scientists is not impulsive?

Of course, even so, Mobius still couldn't completely trust Elysia —or rather, he was more afraid that Liu Bai might accidentally put Elysia under a contract.

If things were done this way, Mobius felt he really wouldn't need to sleep at night.

Fortunately, judging from Vil-V's reaction so far, nothing seems to have happened... Of course, we can't completely rely on Vil-V's intelligence.

Vil-V looked at Mobius with a rather subtle expression on her face.

Well... looking at the relieved Mobius, Vil-V suddenly realized something—although she now had inappropriate thoughts about Liu Bai, Mobius didn't know that!

The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. Should we try to sabotage Mobius?

Vil-V fell into deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Mobius pulled up a chair and sat down.

"I was thinking about the scene where you, old woman, were besieged by Eden and Elysia —the two of them seem to get along quite well."

Vil-V quickly composed herself and revealed her usual detached, gossipy expression.

"Tsk tsk tsk, maybe someone's going to be a loser. Is this what they mean by childhood sweethearts being no match for newcomers?"

Mobius's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Heh... hehe..."
